Ingredients

– 1 whole chicken (about 4-5 pounds)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 3 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried tarragon)
– 1 lemon, cut into wedges
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
– Optional: Fresh tarragon sprigs for garnish


Instructions

Creating Roast Tarragon Chicken with Crispy Skin can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Remove the chicken from any packaging and pat it dry using paper towels.
3. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped tarragon.
4. Apply the Mixture: Rub the tarragon mixture evenly over the entire chicken, including under the skin for added flavor.
5. Stuff the Chicken: Place lemon wedges inside the cavity of the chicken for a burst of citrus flavor during cooking.
6. Prepare for Roasting: Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan. Add chicken broth to the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist.
7. Roast the Chicken: Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the thickest part of the thigh reaches the required temperature.
9. Rest the Chicken: Allow the chicken to rest for about 10 minutes before carving to let the juices redistribute.
10. Serve: Carve the chicken and serve with drizzled pan juices and fresh tarragon sprigs for garnish.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve an incredible Roast Tarragon Chicken with Crispy Skin that will excite your taste buds.
